Tonight, my friend made a mac and cheese to go with the brisket. He smoked the onion and jalapeno that went in it and then added cream, cheese and pasta. It was quite wonderful.

I think my favorite style of mac and cheese comes with a mixture of cheese and breadcrumbs on top that gets all gooey and crunchy at the same time.

I've had lobster mac and cheese, green chile mac and cheese, bacon  mac and cheese, brisket mac and cheese.

All the additions are OK, but I think I prefer it plain as long as the cheese is good. A touch of truffle oil also works.

The most recent one I had was bacon and jalapeno mac and cheese -- which sadly was a little too strong on the jalapeno, overpowering the bacon.  In better balance it would have been a wonderful thing.  Well, it was still a wonderful thing.  But it's just wrong when bacon gets overpowered.

Finished with my viewing.  Feeling a little congested but I think some of that is just being tired still.

My mother made great mac and cheese.  Homemade, not from a box.

I have been thinking about making mac and cheese the last couple of days.  I use colby jack and sour cream.

Tomorrow, they say it will get to 90, but I am betting on the mid-eighties.

Tomorrow is Hydroplane Race Sunday.  In the 50's and 60's this was the biggest sporting event in Seattle each year.

My family never missed watching the races on TV.  My mom loved them.  I remember that our family would go into mourning when one of the driver's would be killed.

I guess when Jane read that I was coming for dinner, she left to go clean house.

We were watching Wanted Dead or Alive.

I don't know when I will make it.  I think it should be a side dish instead of the main meal.  It really isn't the healthiest of dishes.  I used to make it all the time and served it with broccoli.
